The middle order batter amassed her first international ton as the hosts clinched a comfortable win in Rajkot.
Jemimah Rodrigues fashioned her maiden ODI ton as India registered a 116-run win in the second ODI against Ireland to claim a 2-0 unassailable lead in the three-match ICC Women’s Championship series.
Winning the toss and batting first, India Women posted 370 - their highest-ever ODI total - beating the previous best of 358, which was also against Ireland back in 2017.
Stand-in skipper Smriti Mandhana (73) and Harleen Deol (89) also scored big on the day, helping the hosts post a commanding total.
After Mandhana got India off to a strong start, Deol combined alongside Rodrigues to add 183 runs for the third wicket.
But just as Deol was verging towards her century, Arlene Kelly broke the stand. Rodrigues though, went on to bring up her ton in the final over, stabbing a boundary off Kelly through the off-side.
